Product Description
Product Description
The Mulgraves are a rootless, bohemian family who travel the continent of Europe. With Germany's invasion of France in 1940 the family is forced to flee to England. Through war and its aftermath, it is the courageous and steadfast Faith on whom the family relies.
From the Back Cover
The Mulgraves are a rootless, bohemian family who travel the continent, staying in crumbling Italian palazzos, Spanish villas, French vineyards - belonging nowhere, picking up friends and hangers-on as they go, and moving on when Ralph Mulgrave's latest enthusiasm dwindles. Faith, the eldest child of the family, longs for a proper home. But in 1940 Germany invades France and the Mulgraves are forced to flee to England. Faith and her brother Jake go to London, while Ralph reluctantly settles in a Norfolk cottage with the remnant of his family.
In the intense and dangerous landscape of wartime London Faith finds work as an ambulance driver, and meets once again one of Ralph's retinue from those distant and, in retrospect, golden days of childhood. Through war and its aftermath it is Faith on whom the family relies, Faith who offers support and succour, and Faith who is constant and true in her love.
An epic novel of courage, passion and enduring love by the outstanding author of The Winter House, The Shadow Child and Some Old Lover's Ghost.

An excellent read for those who just love a book that you can get completely lost in. Making the reader imagine they are there watching the charcters is something that Judith Lennox does very well. The feelings between the characters will stay with you for a long time as they did me. Novels like this prove that love is strong and very much alive!

You know the feeling you get when all is right with the world? Read this book and understand the gift of Judith Lennox. She can paint a picture so vividly in your mind...make you care about her characters.....make you feel the anguish, the partings,the love that is taken away and then given back. A wonderful read......now how many more books of hers can I buy!!

I bought "Footprints on the Sand" by Judith Lennox based on the reviews and I can tell that I was not disappointed. Ms. Lennox is able to give such rich details that the reader can feel that they are with the characters. I found the book to be very emotional and engaging. I hope to read more from her in the future.
